Denver Broncos UDFA highlights: Ken Ekanem, Virginia Tech

One of my favorite things to do every offseason is research the undrafted players the Denver Broncos picked up, and learn more about how these guys can push for a roster spot. For former Virginia Tech defensive end Ken Ekanem, the quickest route to the 53-man roster will be his ability to get to the quarterback and make plays in the defensive backfield…

Ekanem is a 6-foot-3, 257 pound defensive end who will likely transition to the edge rusher/outside linebacker position with the Denver Broncos. His ability to make plays in the backfield is exactly the reason why he’s getting a shot in the NFL, though his numbers didn’t stay as high as they were in 2014 through the remainder of Ekanem’s college career.
